[Verse 1]
D                          D7
From the hills of Kaycee, Wyoming
       G                D
Where life's wooly and wild
D
Came an Air Force brat
       D7
In a cowboy hat
           E7         A
And that Copenhagen smile
          D
And from bucking broncs
     D7
To honky tonks
    G                      Em
He always sang a cowboy's song
          D
We were much too young
        B7
Having too much fun
    E7     A     D
As we all sang along
  D            G        D
(And we sang) Life's a highway
              G
There's only one way
                  D
You're gonna get through it
           G
When she starts to twist
     D         E
Be more like Chris
         E7
Pull your hat down tight
     A7
And just LeDoux it
            D
When that whistle blows
           D7
And that crowd explodes
          G                      Em
And them pickup men are at your side
                D         A7          D
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride

[Verse 2]
           E               E7
From gold buckles to gold records
            A                     E
Well once again he was spinning 'round
E
Took the whole world on
E                E7
And he turned us on
         F#7            B
To that Western Underground
           E
And from "Bareback Jack"
          E7
To "This Cowboy's Hat"
     A                           F#m
The songs were stronger than his pain
          E
He would not slow down
              C#7
From town to town
      F#7               B          E
Like children running through the rain
[Chorus]
               A         E
(And we sang) Life's a highway
              A
There's only one way
                   E
You're gonna get through it
          A
When she starts to twist
    E         F#
Be more like Chris
          F#7
Pull your hat down tight
     B7
And just LeDoux it
         E
When that whistle blows
          E7
And that crowd explodes
          A                     F#m
And them pickup men are at your side
               E         B7           E
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride
E                            E7
I bet he crossed that river Jordan
          A                 F#m
With St. Peter on the other side
          E         B7          E     A
Singing good ride cowboy, good ride
E          B7           E
Good ride cowboy, good ride
